Yes - mocap live streaming with Perception Neuron directly into Lightwave 3D would be a tremendous feature !!!

Perception Neuron works very well with iClone 6.4 and their beta mocap live streaming plug in.
I used the 32 Neuron version for some testing :-)

I guess Lightwave could also work with the BVH live streaming since it already supports all the kinect input.
Perception Neuron mocap live streaming would be great !!!

Nevron Motion is fine for retrageting moves via BVH import but lacking the full support for fingers as well.
The complete rig implementation would also be very useful . . .
Please support the full body specs including fingers in NevronMotion !!!
Adding, renaming and editing items to create custom setups would be a helpful addition !

I missed the kickstarter campaign and ordered the Perception Neuron suit late November 2015.
One day before Christmas it was delivered . . . :-)

I guess because most MoCap systems don't record fingers.
Traditional optical mocap systems like vicon cannot do this and most mocap libraries don't include it either.
Fingers had to be animated in general till now . . .

The Perception Neuron including full body and fingers at this price point is a huge achievement.

Since the BVH standard allows for mocap skeletons with fingers it would be nice to include the maximum possible rig and simply uncheck what is not needed within Nevron Motion in the retargeting dialogue.
The Genoma Nevron Motion rig has all fingers included. Now Nevron Motion needs just a longer list for retargeting.

As Ryan Roye told me maybe Lino already has it in the making and we all hope for the best . . . ;-)

Perception Neuron and NevronMotion support

to be fair, Nevron came out like 2 years before Perception neuron became publicly available, and it is going to take some time for word to spread around that it is as solid as the developers claim.

I totally agree.
Since there have been several mocap crowd funding projects around for some time which are still strugling to deliver and perform properly you can't expect full support from the start.

In contrast to these other systems the Perception Neuron MoCap suit is a rock solid product in my opinion.
Their software is still evolving and they work hard on improvements.
But you could not tell before actually testing this for yourself.
Not to forget it took them a long time to deliver the first units to the funding people and now to regular customers like me . . .

It's good to see that Reallusion managed to build a stable live mocap plug in for their realtime animation software (iClone 6.2+).
Proof of concept. It works.
Just like Nevron Motion performs well with Kinect in its different flavors.
So it is a logical step to enhance the rig retargeting set with fingers in NevronMotion and of course wishful thinking to get this plus realtime support for Perception Neuron.
But in my "simple user mind" understanding it is a possible task to get the BVH live mocap streaming integrated into Lightwave similar to the Kinect support.

To map the motion data of the fingers an update of the (internal) retargeting lists is needed in NevronMotion.
This cannot be done by the user at the very moment.
Editing items for custom rigs would of course be the most flexibel way.
Combined with proven presets what users mostly need.

Anyway.
NevronMotion is a useful tool and I still have to learn a lot about rigging in general and setting up a decent mocap pipeline.
Thanks for all the information from the wavers out there . . .
